Comrade Godse, the Novel by Yashwant Vyas awarded by Birla foundation Bihari
Puraskar 2007 is written in matchless craft of satire. Written in post-
modernist age,the language and treatment of the novel in itself is a chilling
experience to read. The plot depicts the triangle among political,
communal and new competitive media trends that make a world where art,
culture, life and religions are reduced to mere commodities.
The Novel
At
a place where Hindu and Muslim localities met, Pyare Mian was found dead. A
painting depicting an animal was discovered near his dead body . Not exactly
a painting, it was a brochure usually distributed during exhibitions. There
was a time when a slaughtered animal was thrown in order to instigate riots.
Today, a brochure is enough to do the job! Pyare Mian’s murder turned out to
be vital for two Newspaper publishers, two riot instigators, two ‘communal’
and two ‘secular’ traders.
When
two people of different beliefs met on a cold curfew night ,things took a
course most unexpected…
Characterisation of Prem Prakash, Leela Shankar,Ghunne Shah Rangile,Atmaram
Bandia, Rashoman, Kanchwala, Murtaza ,Rathi Reporter and Chiman Chaparasi
etc unfold the drama in a breathtaking shot-by-shot narration.
A
story written in new figuratives on Media, Politics and the ‘Art of Riots’
that penetrates the soul with a cold knife!
